verfy between the church of England and that of Rome, 
on account of the king’s marriage with Henrietta, daugh¬ 
ter to Henry IV. king of France, Mr. Chillingvvorth for- 
look the church of England, and embraced the Romilh 
religion. After a fliort trial of a few months, in the fe- 
minary at Douay, Mr. Cbillingworth was again tormented 
with religious fcruples: he returned home, refumed his 
ffudies, unravelled his miflakes, and delivered his mind 
from the yoke of fuperltition. His new creed was built 
on the principle, that the Bible is our foie judge, and pri¬ 
vate reafon our lole interpreter; and he ably maintains 
this principle in the Religion of a Proteftant, a book 
which, after ftartling the dodlors of Oxford, is Hill efteem- 
ed the mod folid defence of the reformation. The learn¬ 
ing, the virtue, the recent merits, of the author, now en¬

keeper of the great-leal, therefore promoted him to the 
chancellorlhip of the diocefe of Salilbury, with the pre¬ 
bend of Brixworth, in Northamptonfhire, annexed. Mr.

was there taken prifoner by the parliamentary forces un¬ 
der the command of fir William Waller, who obliged the 
caftle to furrender. But his illnefs increaling, he obtained 
leave to be conveyed to Chichelter, where he was lodded 
at the bilhpp’s palace; and. after a fhort ficknels, died in 
1644. He left feveral excellent works behind him.
